Travelers to Myrtle Beach may have booked their vacation rentals in the sunny city in South Carolina for its miles of white sandy beaches. But, those looking for a unique entertainment experience can also visit The Carolina Opry, a variety show reaching its quarter-century mark in business.
Receiving distinctions such as “an entertainment phenomenon” by Southern Living Magazine, the opry blends two hours of music, comedy and dance in a theater of 2,200 seats. Four signature shows fill the stage each year: The Carolina Opry, Good Vibrations, Carolina Opry Christmas Special and Light See the Music. Opry founder, country music singer and recording artist Calvin Gilmore, resides in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, and puts on each distinct show to country-loving residents and tourists in Myrtle Beach.
Gilmore is helping transform the hot tourist spot “into a country music capital,” according to a review by NBC Nightly News, with his cast of 36 top country music singers, dancers, comedians and musicians, covering a variety of genres including rock ‘n’ roll, Broadway, pop, gospel and, of course, country.
After booking condo vacation rentals in Myrtle Beach, consider an experince at The Carolina Opry to experience a true taste of the deep South.
